I know this has probably been done before but does anybody have a motto/saying that they live by? What is it/ are they?
Mine are simple.... 'shit happens' and 'everything will be alright in the end'.

'things always work out'
Examples:
- You can never succeed if you're afraid of failure.
- One person after another, you can change the world.
- Prepare for the worst and you're prepared for anything.
- Carpe diem.
The last one is what I'm trying to believe these days...'things will always work out for the best'
It's kind of a "you might be feeling shit, but things can always get worse, so don't be too down about it"...doesn't work, like.
that's a bit depressing!
but i guess it makes sense.
i'd prefer to think 'things can only get better'.
I agree with that :yes:
"Winners do track" is a favourite
sorry to laugh but as i was reading down i was thinking that said "you only live twice.." like the bond film. made me burst into laughter in my office...hah
Ooo i like that one.. Seize the Carp..
Ok.. if ya don't get it, it's from a movie i saw..
anyway yes.. i cant think of any right now.. except the.. if at first you don't succeed try and try again
*snorts* That's exactly what I thought of.
Carpe the Diem! Seize the Carp!
glad i made you laugh..in a i-didn't-do-anything way.
“Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form.”
I like "Who dares, wins" too.
But Dylan is the king of "lyrics that can be life mottos", for me (I could list at least a dozen off the top of my head, but won't ):
"Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters." (the entirity of SHB, really)
"Stay free from petty jealousies,
Live by no man's code,
And hold your judgment for yourself
Lest you wind up on this road".
Work hard, play hard.
I like that :yes:
(usually repeated to self on a sunday morning)
You only live once
Shit happens
I'm fucked!
Everyone is always striving for the better paid job, the better looking girl/boyfriend that I don't think we realise what would happen if we achieved what we percieve as "perfection". Makes sense to me anyway.
There is no point in doing anything if you don't enjoy it and if someone truly hates something then I always advise them to give it up. There is no point in anything if you aren't happy. I would rather be skint and happy than rich and unhappy.
